QUALITY ASSURANCE

CHIEF’S ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION INTO THE FIREARM DEATH OF MR. ANDREW LOKU
The Board will consider a report from Chief Saunders regarding the Chief’s Administrative Investigation into the firearm death of Mr. Andrew Loku. Section 11 of Ontario Regulation 267/10 made under the Police Services Act requires the Chief to conduct an investigation into any incident with respect to which the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has been notified. The report provides background to the incident involving Mr. Loku as well as a summary of the Service’s investigation, including a review of the relevant Service procedures and provincial legislation. The investigation concluded that Service procedures and provincial legislation “provided the involved officers with appropriate direction and that all involved officers were in compliance and acted appropriately.”
